September 9/11 redefined the meaning of war.

As I write this pieceby electricity power I am
generating with my private electricity generating set, an anonymous statement on my work desk
seeking for attention says;

“Some people think of God as

A safety net- a way out of

Trouble when all else fails-

But they wouldn’t get

Themselves into such serious

Trouble if they would just hold

On to Him in the first place.”

This piece has been greatly inspired from the audience that
has been reading this blog. Majority of them from countries currently
experiencing war especially from the Ukraine.As this blog upholds, there is nothing or situation that God’s word
cannot fix.

Our task is to believe, for in our belief lies the unseen
power for the realization of our belief.

Furthermore, I connect with those in physical war situations
as I had such for a very brief period during the Nigerian –Biafra war. Brief as
it was I am yet to overcome the horrendous experience.

As a child we lived in splendor. Magnificent edifice
with spacious green grass for carpet and evergreen decorative bush hedges. The war was
in the air waves [radio] and the pages of newspaper until the Nigerian soldiers
arrived through a sea port. The retreating Biafran soldiers started killing
those they perceived as the Nigerian supporters. Our father who was a big short
had to escape for his dear life. His bossom friend and an in-law was not that
lucky. He was arrested andtaken to a road side and short at point blank.
Dead. He died.

His wives and many children have had to brace-up to live
without a father and husband.

After our father’s escape, with our mother leading
the way we tip-toed, closed our mouths and flew out of
town on our tiny growing legs and landed in a mangrove forest. We landed in dark black smelling waters
and in sinking black mud. As we walk in
the far unknown and uncharted forest, we
were sinking every inch on the way until
we got stuck in the wet black mud and could go no further.

We became co-inhabitants with the legitimate
inhabitants-gobies, mud fish and crocodiles.

From Kenya to Nigeria,
Sudanto Libya and Egypt. FromAfghanistan
to Iraq and Syria to Ukraine. War everywhere. Callit
internal crises, terror, insurgence etc.,
it does not matter.

The experience of the Israelites in Bible history shows that
when they wereloyal in their covenant relationship with God, theirenemies becameGod’s enemies. War in their view
was an endeavorin “which the cosmic forces [Judges 5:20],the
chariots of heaven[2 Kings 6:17], and the Lord Himself fought in their her behalf[2
Chronicles 20:17].

The call to “prepare war” [Jeremiah 6;4; Joel 3:9]
literally meant “sanctify” war, declare holy war[Micah 3:9]. The military camp
was kept ceremonially pure [Deuteronomy 23:9-14]. The soldiers consecrated
themselves to the Lord [Isaiah 13:3] in this service, abstained from sexual
intercourse, and were looked upon as holy “vessels” during the campaign[1
Samuel 21:4-5].

Holy war was conducted with the full encouragement of the priest
[Deuteronomy 20:2]. This way guidance was obtained. [ 1 Samuel 28:6;30:7; 2
Samuel 5:19,23].

While the ceremonies may not be necessary in the context of
the New Testament, the call to holiness and righteousness is still valid.
Without these relational needs no one can see or hear from God.

“And I saw three evil spirits disguised as frogs leap from the mouth of
the Dragon,

the Creature, and his False Prophet.

These miracle-working demons conferred with all the rulers of the world
to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great coming Judgment Day of
God Almighty”.[Revelation 16:13,14LB]

It is not important whether this passage refers to times in
the future. What is important is that evil is threatening humanity- an
indication that we arrived in the end times.

“These seven last plagues in the Book of Revelation indicate
that “great disasters of human history are warnings of the final total
calamities which will overtake those who refuse to listen”.

Remember the plagues in Egypt?

The Israelites were exempted because they made up their
minds to serve God. They listened.

In these major crises across the world, the denominator is that these aggressors want to
establish their own state. How historic is this?

History of wars shows that city-States arose and expanded in
most instances through the use of force.
